Wicked Local Brookline reports that around 3:20 p.m. on Aug. 12, a Beacon Street resident called 911 to report "that their apartment smelled like garlic."
Acetylene gas, used in welding, and extremely flammable and explosive, smells like garlic. But then again, if I were calling 911 about a suspected gas leak, I would probably describe it as "smells like welding gas," not "smells like garlic." And for sure I'd be doing it from my cell phone while standing in the street outside.
I learned two things after reading the link: there are mountain lions in Brookline and some people in that town have such lame lives that they are still calling 911 on people for smoking weed in 2018.
- dope-smoking teens
-noisy basketball
-graffiti
-roommates armed with mayonnaise jars at 5 AM
-garlic
-turkeys
-kittens
-agressive skunks
-mountain lions
-creepy guy with mask, aviator glasses, skull head necklace, and American flag pin harassing women
The last is actually kind of disturbing. Perhaps a Republican candidate for something. Hope the mountain lion gets him.

Brookline sounds like a real hellhole.
Brookline PD logs are the best
My personal fav is
Lots of marijuana smoking by teens too
Why cant we get this level of detail in Boston??
311?
Non-emergency line? Does that work everywhere?
If I was the 911 operator
I would say, "That's all for the best, sir. If it didn't smell like garlic, it would probably smell like you."
Needs context; not entirely insane

Definitely Needs Context
Is there a restaurant in the building?

Aggressive skunk?
"Aggressive Skunk" smells like "garlic in the house" sometimes, too.
Airwick Puttanesca scent!

Enquiring minds want to know
Were the off leash dogs smoking weed?
